Question 1

What exactly does the BaseEdge Pro measure?

Accepted Answer

The actual base bevel angle of skis and snowboards. Before grinding you know exactly which angle to set on the edge grinder – and after the service you can verify the target angle.

Question 2

How accurate is the measurement?

Accepted Answer

The resolution is 0.01°. This is made possible by combining an electronic dial gauge with a hairline straightedge – the most precise mechanical measuring instruments.

Question 3

How does the light-gap method work?

Accepted Answer

A built-in LED shines behind the straightedge. As long as light passes between straightedge and edge, the straightedge is not sitting flush. Adjust with the knurled nut until the gap closes – the exact angle then appears on the display.

Question 4

Does it display degrees or millimetres?

Accepted Answer

Both. The large display shows the value in degrees or in millimetres.

Question 5

How is the device calibrated?

Accepted Answer

Switch it on, place it on a clean true bar, close the light gap and zero it. The BaseEdge Pro is then ready to measure.

Question 6

Do I need a power outlet?

Accepted Answer

No. The BaseEdge Pro runs on batteries, so you can use it in the workshop, in the service truck or right at the race course.
